We realize that in today’s less than perfect economy, many brides are on a very tight budget.

We now offer a choice of hiring a String Quartet or a String Trio or a String Duo.

For a typical wedding ceremony, we start playing prelude music about a half hour before your ceremony starts as your guests start arriving.

We will play a special selection for the mothers and grandmothers to be seated, processional music for the bridesmaids to walk down the aisle and special music for the bride to walk down the aisle.

We can also play music during the ceremony, for a unity candle lighting ceremony, communion, etc.

We will then play for the bride and groom to recess from the altar, and postlude music as your guests are leaving.

We will work very closely with you helping you choose music that is perfect for you.

If there is music that you want that is not in our repertoire, we will do our best to find it for you.

I was so nervous and wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but when I heard you playing when I came into the Church, you brought tears to my eyes…Shay and Den

There is very little difference in the sound of most of the professional string quartets that play weddings in the Philadelphia, South Jersey, Entire State of Delaware.

What sets the Shrewsbury String Quartet apart from the others is how easy it is to work with us.

One of the most frequent complaints that we hear from brides is how difficult it is to get in contact with our competition and that it takes an unreasonably long time for some them to answer emails or return phone calls.

If you do not hear back from us within a few hours, we probably did not get your message so please try again.

We have performed at several hundred weddings and are very familiar with the timing of the music.

Some quartets may sound fine, but if they play at the wrong time or do not end the song at the proper time, can cause unnecessary stress for the bride.

We can help you personalize your music.

Thank you so much. My walk down the aisle was everything I dreamed of accompanied by the Canon in D…Leanne and Andrew

We get many compliments on the way we sound and we hear from a lot of brides that they appreciate how easy we are to work with.

As you know, planning a wedding can be very stressful, but working with you was an extreme pleasure. You knew exactly what I wanted, you helped calm me and I knew that our music was going to be absolutely amazing, and it was absolutely perfect…Judey and Jon

Catholic Wedding Mass: Quartet $875.00 – Trio $725.00 – Duo $575.00

We do more than 40 wedding Masses a year and are very familiar with the timing of the music.

There are some quartets that will not perform at a Catholic Mass without an organist.

Travel Charges:

Additional travel fees for travel more that 40 miles from Philadelphia. Up to 70 miles $100.00.

Up to 100 miles $200.00.

Outdoor Weddings:

We want to provide the best possible performance for your event. Outdoor ceremonies create more challenges for musicians.

We have to consider weather conditions and insects. Our instruments can be damaged by extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.

We enjoy playing outside under many conditions, however what is acceptable for a guest for comfort is more difficult for musicians to deal with when trying to perform our best for your event.

Please be considerate and provide a safe, comfortable location for us to perform.

Funeral Pricing:

The Shrewsbury String Quartet performs at over two hundred weddings a year. We also add expressive and touching music to many funerals every year. We feel that at a funeral, we become part of the Liturgy.

“String music held a very special place in our mother’s heart. We knew that she wanted a string quartet at her funeral… You were absolutely wonderful. We wish that we could have met under different circumstances and that mom could have heard you play, although I’m not so sure that she didn’t”…Rose

If classical music was important in your loved one’s life, this is a special way to honor their memory.

We charge $775.00 for a quartet or $650.00 for a trio or $525.00 for a duo for a funeral service.

$775.00 for a quartet or $650.00 for a trio or $525.00 for a duo for the first hour of the viewing and

$500.00 for each additional hour for a quartet or $375.00 for a trio or $250.00 for a duo.

Tony, et al:
A simple note of thanks for everything each of you did to make the wedding of Steph and Blaze so memorable. We know you needed to reorganize at the last minute with the rain and your efforts are truly appreciated. The wedding ceremony was beautiful, and your music really made their day extra special!
Thank you ever so much!
Richard and Roberta

To our friends at the Shrewsbury String Quartet,
We were so touched that you learned the songs that meant so much to us for our wedding ceremony. You played so beautifully and you made our special day perfect. Thank you so very much.
Love,
Carla and Craig

Hi Tony,
Just wanted to thank you. Although I didn’t get to hear much of the music (since I was escorting my daughter down the aisle), my guests were very complimentary of the quartet. Please thank them for me. And know that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others.
Best Regards,
Karen
